Mack Maine Isn’t Sure Who Tweeted For Lil Wayne On Friday [Updated]

That has been the lingering question in the Hip Hop community ever since the news leaked that Lil Wayne was in critical condition at Cedars-Sinai hospital after overdosing on sizzurp last Wednesday. While hospital sources originally told TMZ that Wayne was in a coma inside the hospital’s ICU, Wayne’s camp has stated that the entertainment site is lying and it wasn’t as serious. Meanwhile, TMZ’s hospital source has gone mute (after an investigation was launched to determine who was leaking the info) and they have been forced to receive their updates solely from Wayne’s reps who claim that Wayne is no longer in ICU and has been walking around the hospital floor on his own with bodyguards. That’s definitely good news if true.

As you may recall, on Friday, after TMZ posted that Wayne was being given his last rites, he allegedly sent out a tweet that said, “I’m good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love,” to discredit TMZ’s story. Tech writer Kyle Sandler suspected something fishy was going on, so he did some research, and determined that there was no way that Lil Wayne could have sent that tweet from Cedars-Sinai.

“@TMZ FYI @Liltunechi tweet did NOT originate from 34.0766385, -118.37954589999998 (the lat/long for Cedars Sinai)”

XXL Magazine caught up with Mack Maine to verify if Lil Wayne really sent the tweet from his phone and strangely, he wasn’t sure.

“That Tweet [that he sent out on Friday] wasn’t sent out on that same phone line. I’m not sure if he Tweeted that or not. I wasn’t with him at the present moment. One of his fans could have Tweeted that, I’m not really sure where that came from.”

Oddly enough, that night he tweeted that he was watching the Syracuse game with Lil Wayne and that he was going to get Wayne to send out a tweet so that his fans would know he was okay. -_-

During his chat with XXL, he also gave an update on Lil Wayne:

“He’s in the hospital regularly, [not ICU]. I can’t really give a comment on his situation right now ‘cus we’re not really sure, we’re just standing by him right now. Like I said, he’s in recovery as far as we know, so we’re just sitting back, just waiting until he’s come fully recovered before we can give a statement.”

Hopefully, Wayne is really pulling through and stabilized but something in the water ain’t clean.

Meanwhile, Wayne’s latest visitor was Nicki Minaj who showed up with a ton of balloons over the weekend, but didn’t look distraught as she was leaving which could be a sign that he’s doing much better.

Update: So this strange saga continues. Today, Mack Maine said he never gave an interview to XXL.

Well that’s weird. Why in the world would XXL Mag publish a fake interview? As of now, they haven’t pulled it down.

Not long after Mack Maine tweeted he never said anything to XXL, TMZ posted that they were told by Lil Wayne’s camp that he was released from the hospital today.

Hopefully, this is true and Wayne is okay, but it all sounds like an episode of Scandal.

They turning that hospital into a circus.. i kno the other patients and their families are probably mad as hell… Either way… Hoping for a full recovery but lets not drag this story out any further until the facts get told straight up.

This is actually beginning to get annoying….. We need to stop allowing Social media to control our lives.

I originally wrote this whole rant but I’m just going to say this……….. I’m not one to EVER reference Beyonce and Jay Z but I can bet that if something like this happened NO ONE in their camp would be tweeting this mess. I’m not idolizing them, I’m just saying NO ONE should have said a damn thing until Lil Wayne completely recovered because now it backfired and they NOT TMZ look like the liars.

They just need to come out & say what Wayne’s real condition is. God FORBID! But what if Wayne just up & died tomorrow? The fans will be super upset that YMCMB wasn’t being honest about his condition. I am not a fan of Wayne but my heart sure did sink a little when i heard of Wayne’s seizures. May God be with this man.
Also, i do believe TMZ is telling the truth. The talk with Baby on Hot 97, Baby sounded like he was fishin for the words to say because lil Wayne is not doing good at all. If a coma has to be induced, he’s kinda in bad shape. Prayers!

So, now things just got real! Instead of being mad at TMZ (I see you TI) what you (and ALL his friends) need to be doing in getting your “family ” some help! Lil Wayne belongs in rehab and EVERYONE is enabling him to continue to do drugs. Stop it! and get him help —- NOW!

Why the world would they released Wayne after JUST being in ICU. They are suppose to move you to the regular floor. At least that is what happened with me.

Weird.

God bless this man and his family.
Prayer works…I just wish we knew EXACTLY what we are praying for. Why won’t his camp just be honest! Smh

You are right, no (good) hospital would ever release someone right out of the ICU. My dad spent a month in the ICU and before he could be released, he had to go on the regular floor for a bit to make sure that everything is good. They’re just trying to have control over what’s being said and want privacy I guess…
i don’t blame them.. must be a hard time for them

Right. It’s vicious for sites for FakeMZ to make up lies about people and their health. His phone was probably already on his twitter and with the Internet going crazy, they probably tweeted something that they thought Wayne would say. I pray he’s ok however.

So this “final wishes” thing wasnt a lie? Since you know so much, you should start your own gossip site

Ummm didnt that tweet was sent from Wayne account or am I tripping?? I didnt know a famous superstar would let a fan tweet from their account. But whatever I guess…….some aint up with this whole situation.

Maybe this is what it took for him to get his health and priorities in order. Everything usually comes to light eventually.

No Ma'am Reply:March 18th, 2013 at 10:31 pm

Um…TMZ did lie about some of the story. They said Wayne was on his death bed, and his mother was on a plane for his last rites… or whatever they said. The rest of the story they stuck to. But overall, all I was saying was being cute with a post like that was not only inaccurate but distasteful.

+51 Reeses Reply:March 18th, 2013 at 8:04 pm

I agree that TMZ has, to my knowledge, never been wrong when it comes to things like this. Seems as though they have eyes and ears everywhere. I think where they went wrong in this case is put out that he was dying before the family even really knew 100% or his mother even reached him. More than likely there is something seriously wrong with Lil Wayne and his family chooses not to disclose that information, which is fine. I have a feeling that he may not be the same, if you know what I mean. SMH! I hope the people in his camp and in the industry try to go down a different path because this is no joke. Especially talking about poppin’ Molly’s and sweatin’ like it’s cool. Which I never understood why anyone would want to be sweating anyway.

But, wasn’t Mack Maine the one who tweeted that Wayne would send out a tweet to silence everybody? Necole, you’re right, something is not clean. I think he’s in more serious condition than they want to get out right now and that’s fine, at a time like this anyone would deserve their privacy.

TMZ told the truth.
Mack Maine is just trying to lie for the family.
Everyone who comes to the hospital leaves sad… Lil Wayne is fine and great like they say.
He was in a coma, and was not watching no game like Bird Man said.
lies lies lies
the truth will be known when/if wayne gets out and we SEE him!

Tmz ran w/ story they werent 100% sure about. The nurse/doctor may have exaggerated the story. Mack main & t.I are just protecting waynes rights to privacy. Its none of our business whats going in that hospital room. Im sure it was crazy, the 1st couple days, but im glad he’s doing better. If it was as bad as tmz reported, his daughter wouldnt have been flicking it on ig w/ her friends & Birdman wouldnt have been at an event this weekend…the person who tweeted probably saw Mack tweet about wayne wanting to tweet he’s fans, & they did it acting as wayne. Or it could have been a family member or another friend of Waynes that sent the tweet for him. I just didnt think it was that serious to bring in experts to dissect a tweet & finding out the ip address lol

Nicki loves her some Wayne haha, I love the brother/sister relationship they got. Get better Wayne!

I do believe what TMZ said and of course his camp going to try and protect his privacy TMZ don’t care about his teen daughter and that’s sad …..TMZ don’t care about nobody just BREAKING NEWS 1st they all going to hell with gasoline draws on……..Lil Wayne if he pull through need to go straight to REHAB then leave there after a year and go straight to church and stay there FOREVER turn into a Deacon then Bishop ……Amen

**UPDATE** TMZ just said Wayne is released from hospital tonight …..they said he going to rest until he make a full recovery I’m happy to hear that for the sake of his kids…..Get right Wayne go to rehab ASAP

I can’t help but think what it would have been like had twitter, TMZ and all these blogs would have been around when Tupac and Biggie had been shot. That would have been an open and closed case. There would have been insiders, people tweeting photos of other people at the scene. TMZ would have solved that case overnight!

Who cares though, Lil Wayne doesnt care enough about the flock of kids he has to stop with the sizzurp **** so why should we care if he’s in the hospital. There’s a million other things going on in the world besides this fool trying to off himself.

Lil Wayne is no president Obama we DO NOT need to know his state of health,
As for TMZ, tmz was DEAD wrong on reporting that Wayne was dying . And were claiming that they were waiting for his mom to come before being read his last rites. So TMZ does get things wrong and in this case they did get it wrong.

I agree w/ Kitty and TK1. I think that CMB/YMCMB is trying to hide something. I listened to the Baby interview with Hot 97 and he sounded like he was not telling everything. I think that this may be a little worse than expected and CMB is trying to find a way to soften the blow to fans. Regardless of his actions Wayne has been a major staple in the rap/hip-hop community since 1999/2000. If this is the end nobody can take that from him. He put CMB/YMCMB on the map. I feel sorry for his family especially his children. I just have a bad feeling about this and until I see an actual pic of him leaving the hospital I dont believe it. You have to remember that TMZ is now getting all of their info from the CMB now due to the fact that they may be liable and sued about the “last rites” posting they did Friday. So actually no one really knows if he has been released except his family and friends.

Is it me or does Wyane look like a BLACK Charles Manson? I am sad to see that there are pic everywhere of Wayne holding a bottle of prescription cough syrup which I am sure like Michael he has access to with no problems. Sad money can buy you everything even your own death!

hey guys don’t forget! He has a new cd dropping next week! There wasn’t too much buzz about it since Justin T. has been the talk of the town, but with this hospital scare going on, it’s great press I guess.

PLEASE help donate for Mrs. Abbott, a mentor and a wife, so that she can receive IVF treatments in hopes of becoming a mother. Help give the gift of life, every dollar counts! God bless! gofundme.com/2bbk9w

I just think it’s kind of weird mac maine was tweeting like You’ll always be okay when you have praying mothers and you’re covered in the blood of christ…when it’s rumored wayne is a satanist. That’s not to say God won’t heal him anyway but somehow I still don’t think he’ll be a believer.

I guess Satanist is extreme. But he’s stated he doesn’t believe in God and called himself Satan sooo…

My point is I agree with sunkissed about his questionable lyrics. They just don’t seem to correlate with Mac Maine’s tweets.

+4 Moneym Reply:March 19th, 2013 at 11:47 am

Lil Wayne devil lyrics can best be explained by the fact that he feels he’s done so much evil in his life, “Is There A Heaven For G’s And Soldiers? I Can’t Go To Hell, Cause I’d Take Over, I Feel It Approaching, But I Aint Scared I Made That Bed, And I Should Rest In Peace”. Wayne lyrics don’t really reflect his life, and I notice people on Necole take them more seriously than they should.

Mack Maine is the one tweeting that Wayne is watching the game right now, not in critical condition.

And we’re all “ooh well that’s his boy..he could twitpic him..but ok whatever”

Now he’s saying he wasn’t in the room with him. So how would be have known he wasn’t dying?

It’s like all those people like Lisa Raye saying they saw Teena Marie the morning before she died or something…..or Jacksons not knowing Michael was dead despite being family. If you’re not riiiiiiiiiiiight there, you don’t know, and the false hope was calming but confusing and well…false.

All lies! Granted its to give him a bit of privacy, but still. They are all trying to cover up his drug habit by saying he’s fine, nothing’s going on because they know everybody else is going to say “I told you so”. We’ve got dozens of examples of cough syrup killin folks, but we’re all supposed to think nothing like that would happen to Wayne because he’s somehow above that. Please. Get that man in some serious treatment! It’s time for him to slow down cuz his body is.

I hope he’s OK. Knowing what I do about seizures (a few patients and my son) its strange that he’s been in the hospital for as long as he has. One can only assume that something else happened. i. e. Stroke. TMZ has insiders everywhere. The hospital is being investigated and they should! However, their insider could be (hopefully not) within his own camp. My heart goes out to his family.

I was thinking the same thing. Everyone kept mentioning his seizures being serious but my grandad has seizures (& while they are serious)…They’re not a week long stay in the ICU serious especially when you have enough money to have a doctor travel with you. Something else had to happen.

Exactly, I concur with you. My mother has Epilepsy, and when she has seizures or a grand mile one… the longest she’ll stay in the hospital is a day or two to run tests. My mother also has a bad drinking habit (addiction) and got intoxicated heavily, and ended up having a very devastating night with her friend who tried to cover it up, and my mother ended up in the hospital for over several days with stroke like symptoms, and a swollen face, along with dehydration. (That hospital stay woke my mother up, and I hope if all is well with Wayne; and he’ll do the same) . I alsoI believe it’s more to it than multiple seizures, because even Rick Ross with his health conditions sprung out fast, and well after his seizures ordeal. It sounds like Wayne’s body went through severe shock, and trauma, which induced into a stroke.

My only question is whether he was conscious or not going to the hospital, being able to be drove by his camp, or via ambulance? Something is fishy and Mack Maine sounds like he’s trying to cover something being that he was there with Wayne during the incident, just like my mother friend did during that time.

SN: Damn TMZ, taking the longitude and latitude of people’s tweet’s like they’re the cia, or special ops.

Lil Wayne overdosed on drugs and got his stomach pumped a number of times. They had to induce him into a coma to slow down the effects of the overdose and to control the seizures. He also probably needed to stay for observation purposes and to make sure that the impact of the seizures and overdose had stabilized. Thats why he had to stay in longer.
His seizure were drug related.

LOL!! Didn’t he say he was with him watching the Syracuse game? *inserts foot into mouth for you Maine!* smh..

BTW Necole, if you care, Birdman (OMG I can’t believe i’m actually typing that for someone’s name), anyways..yea..the character that is Birdman called into HOT97 today to say Wayne had seizures due to being overworked. If you care about that phonecall, Miss Info has it up on her site.

The man takes pics of codeine and sizzurp. He told ppl to basically eff off during his Behind the Music. That quote “dnt worry abt wtf is in my cup?” Remember that? I’m not saying I’m wishing death on him but he gotta stop being so careless! He’s supporting this thing that kills ppl and is hurting himself. He’s a dummy! And no he won’t change I’ll put money on it.

TMZ is always 100!!! Their game is deep, they have alot of valet, waitresses, hotel staff, hospital staff ect on payroll here in L.A.. My friend works valet at a hotel and photographers always enlist him to contact them when big name celebs are there, and he’s paid. Cant trust no one when in the industry cause you will be sold out!

like i said to my friend its sad that wayne is in the condition he is in and im not one to ever wish death on anyone because like Biggie said aint no coming back from that .

Also im no fan of Wayne but i hope he gets well and get his act together ….throw away all that drug using , sizzup drinking , and act like a grown man and understand he has something to live for, his CHILDREN!!!!

Seems to me every one is LYING But TMZ, cause Mack Maine was a little too hype for me and Toya’s tweet seemed like she didn’t want his family and children to find out from twitter before they could find out personally. Plus I don’t think he will stop till it kills him he has a plethora of lyrics telling us this , and I recall the interview he did after Pimp C passed away he says that syrup is like any other drug you need rehab for it and he didnt think he was ever going to quite cause he is actually sick and he needs it…. Now I have ACTUAL Addicts in my family and they all say something to the effect of them being sick and needing their medication. The First step is Admittance…

No matter what the real story is we know for a fact that he is in the hospital, so i just hope he gets better i am not his biggest fan but i just hope he gets better for his kids and family addiction is no joke! #praying4wayne

WOOOOOOW (in flava flav’s voice)…something very fishy is going on. My money is and has always been on TMZ. I do not believe that he is walking right now. I feel that he is still very ill. Why? BC mack maine lied Friday. “Wayne is Alive and Well, we are watching the game…(he said something like that..) Why should we believe his camp now? Wayne has been in the hospital before and guess what? He tweeted pics. Why isnt he tweeting right now. His camp really need to come up with better lies….or just not say a thing.

now Mack Maine is saying he is not really sure, are you serious? You should have not said anything in the first place. Now you are trying to do damage control. I hope he really recovers, but I am with you, Necole…something aint right.

Honestly, who cares if tmz was telling the truth or not..
It seems like yall are wishing the worst case scenario , which is
Hateful and disgusting to wish that on anyone regardless of how ignorant
they can be.. Also it is his and his familyfriends right to privacy while he
is going through whatever it is he is dealing with..
I just hope he is getting better and he gets the help he needs.

I believe something serious is going on with Wayne and his camp is not ready to release information which is fine but just dont say anything because now you have to backtrack. I cant think of any reason to be in the hospital this long because you had a seizure usely they will prescribe you meds run test and release you. I believe TMZ I dont think he will be the same if he makes it out of this I think its permanent damage done.

Here is my thing with this man… I don’t like his music and I don’t like him as a human being. He’s detestable and intolerable. He amplifies every stereotype a black man has ever had. I’m quite sad that this is the rap start of this generation. He will NEVER be looked at as a great because he has no class or caliber, will work with just about anyone, and gave us Nicki Minaj. (That was a jokey, jokey, lol)

Let’s just keep it real…he overdosed and since he never hid his addiction with lean why is his camp hiding his condition? He glorifies this drug…now glorify what really happens when you overdose.

I dont like him either but why are we so insensitive to the fact that as much as he is a fool he is a fool with kids and loved ones. How many people here would be ok with their families finding out that they on their death bed before even getting to the hospital. Lil Waynes camp owes us nothing on his condition because it doesnt impact our lives in any sort of ways. But the camp owes it to his family most importantly his kids to keep such thing confidential until they know.

Its fishy fishaaay!!! Something not right..because the whole ymcmb fam stop tweeting during the time and even up until now..something not right and they probably pressin wayne so hard so they can continue eating and ballin!! I thin wayne wants to get out the rap game and it appears he may only be functional at his best when drinking his meds..jus sayin

Looks like Wayne is doing more than just blowing trees. Dude has a serious drug problem and for the sake of his kids, I hope he gets off of it but seeing how Wayne acts, he’ll probably be back on the drank after he’s out of the hospital. I wish him well.

May be foolish to say, but I’m leaning towards TMZ… Bc why is everyone suddenly visiting him when he’s been in since Wednesday they say, why not visit that day.. Instead everyone visits the day when he’s supposably in ICU

B/c he probably was in no condition to have visitors the day he was admitted. Not all hospitals let people come in whenever. Some actually think about their patients & only allow close family to visit when they are in a certain state.

I believe his camp was trying to do a cover up. This man has problems and we can see it in his I don’t care what I rap about or what I do attitude. Hopefully, he will address it and become a better person in many ways if not he will not be around for long.

Idk whats going on with Wayne, and why he is having seizures and stuff but if it actually is because of that sizzurp/lean and drugs I hope that he gets help and this situation taught him that he needs to slow down and realize that he actually IS human, although he likes to rap that he isnt.

I strongly believe that something fishy is in the air also. XXL giving out ”fake interviews”……..I dont even,believe that. They are trying to prtoect Wayne but maybe he doesnt need protection. He needs a reality check and prayer. He has great talent and he built and amazing brand. I hope and pray he gets better soon.

OK LIKE REALLY NECOLE ……you all kinds of wrong for that pic of Wayne make your skin crawl ugh …….I’m just waiting to see if he going to rehab lord knows he need it ASAP and his camp just really need to shut up and let Wayne address the media/fans when he’s feeling better…….but I get it they trying to protect his privacy………for the sake of his children I hope & pray he get it together

hmmmmmm, I’on know but I’on like it…. Something in my gut tell me that he’s still in the hospital… in a coma…. I’m just finding it extremely difficult to believe anything else. I think he’s on life support… just keeping it 100.

I think Wayne is still in the hospital I think they told everyone he left so other patients and families can get their rest and treatments in peace. For goodness sake leave the grounds so that these people can get the attention they need.

I’m going to say this and I’m going to leave it alone we have a jealous God and when we worship these celebs more than him he has a way to make us see there is no one more powerful than him. So I see this not only a wake up call for Wayne but to the fans and stans as well just as God put him where he at God can also take it from him. And he does that to remind us that he still have all power in his hands.

I pray that Dwayne gets better and really gets it together after this and I hope it helps him be a better man for himself and a great father for his kids.

I haven’t been really keeping up with this story , but I wish nothing but the best for Wayne and a speedy recovery. And if he is battling drug addiction hopefully he will seek help . I mean he has beautiful children who love him and that should motivate him to get clean so he can be around for as long as possible.

Let me put it this way. I use to work in trauma and ICU in a non-professional way at a hospital and have seen a lot of things. The image Lil Wayne friends wants to project to the public and what is really going on with him is different as night and day. I knew there was no way in hell he tweeted that Friday. All his “buddies” were tweeting what THEY WANTED TO BELIEVE even his daughter got in on it. I wish him well I really do.

No one has seizures from being over worked. If you were not diagnosed with seizure disorder and have a history of seizures, you dont just have a seizure out of no where. This has to do with DRUGS. He has been messing with that “dirty sprite” for a LOOOOOOOOONG time and now its taking a toll on him. I really hope he is ok and gets the help he needs.

listen – even if lil wayne is a dirtbag drug addict without talent….everybody has a right to their privacy. If the hospital violated his rights JUST so that WE can know what’s going on – that is wrong, he should sue.
